ESPN-TV will Broadcast the $770,000 Alternate-Shot Team Event Jan. 13-14
from Wailea, Maui

The teams are back and so are the game’s legends: Arnold Palmer, Jack
Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tom Watson and Ray Floyd. So is Dana Quigley, who
found glory in his first Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME. And joining them
are a couple of new faces in Loren Roberts and Jay Haas, who are eager to
find the same kind of rookie success as Quigley did with Floyd in 2006.

The 20th edition of
the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME returns to the spectacular Wailea
Resort’s Gold Course on Jan. 13-14 with the alternate-shot, team format
that proved popular upon its debut last February. The players will play
nine holes each day, with ESPN televising the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME
on a same-day, tape-delayed basis Saturday, Jan. 13 and Sunday, Jan. 14
from 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. ET, 1 p.m.-3 p.m. PT and 11 a.m.-1 p.m. HT. (Times
vary in different areas; check your local listings).

Once again, Nicklaus
and Watson form one team, taking on defending champions Floyd and Quigley,
along with Palmer and newcomer Roberts. Player and Haas round out the
eightsome.

Wailea Resort is the
host of the event for the seventh time, following 11 years at Mauna Lani
on the Big Island of Hawaii. The inaugural match was played in 1988 at
Turtle Bay Golf Club on Oahu, and the second in 1989 at the Mountain
Course at the La Quinta Hotel Golf Club in La Quinta, CA.

“Once again, you’ve
got a dream field of legendary players who never seem to miss
opportunities to put on a show,” said Tony Renaud, vice president of new
business for ESPN and the executive overseeing the Wendy’s Champions SKINS
GAME. “The last few years, we’ve seen some incredible performances that I
have no doubt will continue with this field.”

One of those
incredible performances came in February. The Floyd-Quigley tandem bided
their time and spent 16 holes jockeying for position before striking hard
on the 17th hole, when Floyd drained an 8-foot putt that
brought the pair $410,000. Two holes later, Floyd struck again, sinking a
10-foot putt that earned the pair another $100,000.

“Raymond kept saying
to me, ‘We have to keep prolonging this until we get a chance to win some
aggregate skins,’ “ said Quigley, who was playing in his first SKINS GAME
of any nature.

The $510,000 afternoon
broke Hale Irwin’s mark ($450,000 in 2002) for most money won in a single
event and the $410,000 putt on No. 17 blew away Floyd’s record for most
money won on a single hole ($290,000 in 1995).

“The way it unfolded
was incredible,” Floyd said. “Of all the SKINS GAMES, and this is my 11th,
I’ve never seen a SKINS GAME unfold like that where one team tied the
other. And then the misses, I’ve never in SKINS seen so many misses where
you could capitalize.”

And Floyd has
capitalized on his remarkable knack for the skins format to become the
most successful Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME player in event history. Last
February’s victory gave Floyd his sixth Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME title
and first since winning the event an unprecedented five consecutive times
(1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998). All told, he has won six of the eight
Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAMES he has competed in. The winner of four major
championships, Floyd has captured 60 titles worldwide.

Returning as his
partner is Quigley, who became only the second event rookie (Chi Chi
Rodriguez in 1988 being the other) to prevail in the Wendy’s Champions
SKINS GAME. The 59-year-old Quigley became the oldest player to win on the
Champions Tour in 2006 when he captured the Greater Kansas City Classic.
In 2005, Quigley became the oldest player to earn the Arnold Palmer Award
and the only player that season to crack the $2 million mark in earnings.

Waiting for them are
the winners of the last two individual Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAMES: the
team of Nicklaus (2005) and Watson (2004). The pair banked the $260,000
that escaped Floyd and Quigley in February, lifting Nicklaus to familiar
heights in relation to his counterparts. In his 16 previous Wendy’s
Champions SKINS GAMES, Nicklaus’ $1,393,000 haul on the front nine along
is more than $1 million ahead of his next closest pursuer and he owns
event record for most skins (86), most front-nine skins (58) and most
career money ($2,135,000).

The winner of an
unprecedented 20 major championships, including six Masters, five PGA
Championships, four U.S. Opens, three British Opens and two U.S. Amateurs,
Nicklaus has won 113 tournaments worldwide and is largely retired from
competitive golf after a career in which he was named Golfer of the
Century by GOLF Magazine in 1988 and by Golf Monthly U.K. in 1996. A
five-time PGA TOUR Player of the Year, the PGA TOUR and Champions TOUR
Player of the Year honors now bear his name.

His partner, Watson,
will be playing in the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME for the fifth time.
Beside his victory, he finished second in 2000 and 2006 and third in 2005.
A member of the original SKINS GAME field in 1983, along with Nicklaus,
Palmer and Player, Watson played in six SKINS GAMES, won it in 1994 and
finished second three times (1984, 1985 and 1996).

Palmer, who will be
playing in his 19th Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME, is the owner
of 97 career titles, including four Masters, two British Opens, one U.S.
Open and one U.S. Amateur.

He didn’t play in 1997
because of prostate cancer. He won the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME three
times in the 1990s, most recently in 1993, and is winding down his
incredible competitive career.

Paired with Palmer is
Roberts, who enjoyed the career year most observers predicted for him. In
his first full season on the Champions Tour, Roberts won four titles -
including the Senior British Open. In so doing, Roberts became the first
player to win his first three starts of the season and set a Champions
Tour record by shooting 25-under-par 191 to win the MasterCard. In 21
appearances on the Champions Tour, Roberts earned $2,365,395 and failed to
finish in the top 10 on just three occasions.

The final pairing
features one of the SKINS GAME pioneers in Player, who won the inaugural
SKINS GAME in 1983 and captured the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME in 1986,
1988, 1991 and 2000. One of five men who own the Career Grand Slam,
Player has won 108 tournaments worldwide and this year, he bettered his
age twice and also matched it once during the season. The 70-year-old
Player shot an opening-round 69 at the Senior British Open and also shot
an opening-round 69 at the Wal-Mart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach.

Playing with Player is
Haas, who became the fourth player and the first since Watson in 2003 to
claim both the Arnold Palmer Award as the Champions Tour’s leading money
winner as well as the Charles Schwab Cup. Haas tied Roberts for the most
victories (four) and like Roberts, also captured a major championship,
when he prevailed in a playoff in the Senior PGA Championship. This
season, Haas banked $2,420,227 and nipped Roberts by 20 points for the
Charles Schwab Cup.

“You saw what Ray
Floyd and Dana Quigley did last year. Now, look at the remarkable seasons
that Jay Haas and Loren Roberts had and take into account how dangerous
Gary Player, Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus can be in this format and add a
legendary player like Arnold Palmer and it’s easy to understand how
exciting this field is for our viewers,” said Barry Frank, vice chairman
of Trans World International (TWI).

In the Wendy’s
Champions SKINS GAME, each hole is a tournament within itself, with the
prize money carried over if no player wins a hole outright. The $770,000
total purse is broken down to $30,000 for each of the first six holes,
$40,000 for each of the middle six holes, $50,000 each for holes 13
through 17, and $100,000 for the 18th hole. The players will
donate 10 percent of their winnings to charity - 5 percent to the Dave
Thomas Foundation for Adoption and 5 percent to the charity of their
choice.

The Wailea Gold Course
is the most challenging of Wailea Golf Club’s trio of courses. Designed by
Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the 7,078-yard Gold has been lauded by Conde Nast
Traveler as one of the world’s best designed golf courses. Since it opened
in 1994, the course has earned honors as one of the country’s 10 best new
resort courses by both Golf Magazine and Golf Digest, as well as received
a historic preservation award from the Maui Historical Society.

FLOYD/QUIGLEY BIRDIE
HOLE TO WIN 9 SKINS AND $410,000, THE LARGEST TOTAL WON ON A HOLE, TIES
THE MARK FOR MOST SKINS WON ON ONE HOLE AND LOCKS UP FLOYD’S SIXTH
WENDY’S CHAMPIONS SKINS GAME. NO. 18, THE WENDY’S SUPER SKIN, IS WORTH
$100,000

RECORDS SET THIS YEAR:
Plenty. The
$410,000 won by Raymond Floyd and Dana Quigley is a record for most money
won on a single hole, obliterating the mark of $290,000 banked by Floyd in
1995. The $510,000
afternoon breaks Hale Irwin’s mark ($450,000 in 2002) for most money won
in a single event. The nine skins the tandem banked on the 17th
hole ties Jack Nicklaus’ total from 1991. In the process, Floyd relieved
Irwin of the mark for most back-nine money at $1,495,000.

The $260,000 earned by
Nicklaus and Tom Watson obliterated Nicklaus’ three-year old record for
most cash won on the front nine ($160,000), while pushing Nicklaus’ career
front-nine earnings to $1,393,000, more than $1 million ahead of the next
closest player – Floyd. Meanwhile, Nicklaus adds eight more front-nine
skins, padding his record to 58, and increased his career-leading skins
total to 86. On the money side, he added another $130,000, pushing his
career-leading money take in the event to $2,135,000.

CALL HIM MR. SKINS:
This is the sixth Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME victory for Floyd, but
first since 1998, when Floyd won the fifth and final one in his
remarkable, five-straight stretch. Since turning 50, Floyd has won six of
the eight Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAMES he has competed in.

A REAL TEAM PLAYER:
If there’s a chance to win a team event, look no further than someone
adept at taking plenty for the team – Floyd. Since turning 50, Floyd has
captured eight unofficial team events. Counting his three PGA TOUR
unofficial team victories, Floyd owns 11 team wins.

GIVING THE SLIP TO A
SORE HIP:
Event rookie Dana Quigley enjoyed a fine Wendy’s Champions SKINS
GAME debut. Battling a sore hip, the iron man of golf earned $255,000, the
second largest haul for a Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME rookie. That trails
only Chi Chi Rodriguez’s rookie record of $300,000 in 1988.

WHERE’S OUR MONEY?
With the teams of ArnoldPalmer/Peter Jacobsen and Gary
Player/Hale Irwin being shut out, it marked the first time since 2002,
when Palmer and Fuzzy Zoeller were blanked, two players/teams came
up empty. It’s only the fourth time in event history that two
players/teams were shut out in a Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME.

WE’RE GOING OVERTIME?
OF COURSE WE ARE:
For the 15th time in the 19-year history of the Wendy’s
Champions SKINS GAME, the players needed extra holes to decide matters.

IS ANYBODY HOME?
The eight-hole stretch (holes 9-16) without a skin being won marked the
second longest dry spell in even history. It was surpassed only by the
10-hole skin-free stretch in 1991.

FIRST WORKS FINE:
For the fifth
time in the last seven events, Nicklaus won the first skin. This edition
came after Nicklaus rolled in an eight-foot putt on the first hole.

A CHARITABLE AND
PROFITABLE AFTERNOON:
As usual, several charities enjoyed a fine day, courtesy of Floyd/Quigley
and Nicklaus/Watson. The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption earned
$25,500 from Floyd and Quigley and $13,000 from Nicklaus/Watson.
Meanwhile, Floyd and Quigley donated $25,000 apiece to their personal
charities: the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the World Harvest
Ministries, respectively. Nicklaus donated $13,000 to the Nicklaus
Children’s Health Care Foundation and Watson $13,000 to the Children’s
MercyHospital
and the ALS Association.

HIS HONOR IS ON THE
PREMISES: That
familiar looking volunteer walking the Wailea Gold Course? That would be
Alan Arakawa, the mayor of Maui County, who once again is helping the
cause on the Gold Course.

NEW DIGS FOR
LEADBETTER:
The Wailea Golf Club announced Monday that it will open a David Leadbetter
Golf Academy, the first of the renowned golf instructor’s schools in
Hawaii.
The school is schedule to open in Spring 2006.

LEGENDS OF GOLF WILL USHER IN NEW FORMAT FOR 2006 WENDY’S CHAMPIONS SKINS
GAME

WAILEA, Maui – It is a golf fan’s dream, the opportunity to see what
kind of magic Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson can create when
paired together on a golf course. Or the chance to see what would happen
when Gary Player and Hale Irwin put their considerable
golfing intellect to a similar purpose against the charismatic duo of
Arnold Palmer and Peter Jacobsen and the talented and dangerous
tandem of Raymond Floyd and Dana Quigley.

Add in the dreamlike
setting of the Wailea Resort’s championship Gold Course and you have the
field for the 19th edition of the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME, which will
be played for the first time in an alternate-shot, team format, keeping
the traditional SKINS GAME format. ESPN will televise the Wendy’s
Champions SKINS GAME on Monday, Feb. 6 from 6:30 p.m. – 11 p.m. ET. (Times
vary in different areas, check your local listings).

“This is like a fantasy
golf team. When you have the chance to put legends like Jack Nicklaus,
Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Ray Floyd together with standout players
like Tom Watson, Hale Irwin, Peter Jacobsen and Dana Quigley, you don’t
think twice,” said Chuck Gerber, executive vice president and general
manager of ESPN Regional Television, Inc. “We are very excited about this
format, one that we know will be a treat to our viewers.”

Wailea Resort is the host
of the event for the sixth time, following 11 years at Mauna Lani on the
Big Island of Hawaii. The inaugural match was played in 1988 at Turtle Bay
Golf Club on Oahu, and the second in 1989 at the Mountain Course at the La
Quinta Hotel Golf Club in La Quinta, CA.

Nicklaus is the defending
champion of the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME, blazing his way to 11 skins
and a career-best payday of $340,000 in the 2005 edition of the popular
Super Bowl weekend event. It was Nicklaus’ first competitive round of golf
in nearly nine months and he had been battling back and leg ailments for
much of the year.

“I did fine. I certainly
don’t have any complaints. I didn’t expect to play this well. I certainly
didn’t expect to play this well at all,” Nicklaus said.

“Jack Nicklaus’
performance last year was one of the most remarkable things I’ve seen on a
golf course,” said Barry Frank, vice chairman of Trans World International
(TWI). “Given our format and the caliber of players we have challenging
him and Tom Watson this year, I think you can expect to see another
amazing finish in 2006.”

Nicklaus, considered by
many to be the greatest player of all time, will be playing in the Wendy’s
Champions SKINS GAME for the 16th time. The winner of an unprecedented 20
major championships, including six Masters, five PGA Championships, four
U.S. Opens, three British Opens and two U.S. Amateurs, Nicklaus has won
113 tournaments worldwide.

Named Golfer of the
Century by GOLF Magazine in 1988 and by Golf Monthly U.K., in 1996,
Nicklaus won the 1991 Champions SKINS GAME. He is No. 1 on the all-time
leader on the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME money list ($2,005,000) and
skins list (79) and second on the all-time combined Merrill Lynch
SKINS/Wendy’s Champions SKINS money list ($2,655,000). A five-time PGA
TOUR Player of the Year, the PGA TOUR and Champions TOUR Player of the
Year honors now bear his name.

Watson, who won the
Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME in 2004, will be playing in the Wendy’s
Champions SKINS GAME for the fourth time. Beside his victory, he finished
second in 2000 and third last year. A member of the original SKINS GAME
field in 1983, along with Nicklaus, Palmer and Player, Watson played in
six SKINS GAMES, won it in 1994 and finished second three times (1984,
1985 and 1996).

Palmer, who will be
playing in his 18th Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME, is the owner of 97
career titles, including four Masters, two British Opens, one U.S. Open
and one U.S. Amateur.

He didn’t play in 1997
because of prostate cancer. He won the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME three
times in the 1990s, most recently in 1993.

The popular and
loquacious Jacobsen will be making his Wendy’s Champion SKINS GAME debut.
He played In the SKINS GAME in 1995, finishing third and winning $30,000.
After following his U.S. Senior Open victory in 2004 with this year’s Ford
Senior Players Championship, Jacobsen shares a rare distinction with
Nicklaus and Palmer -- they are the only three golfers to make their first
two Champions Tour victories major championships.

One of the SKINS GAME
pioneers, Player won the inaugural SKINS GAME in 1983 and captured the
Champions SKINS GAME in 1986, 1988, 1991 and 2000. One of five men who
own the Career Grand Slam, Player has won 108 tournaments worldwide.

He teams with the most
decorated player in Champions Tour history – Irwin – who enjoyed another
head-turning season in 2005. The 60-year-old Irwin won four tournaments,
boosting his career victory total to 44, and narrowly missed winning $2
million for the eighth time in his career. He won the Wendy’s Champions
SKINS GAME in 1999, 2001 and 2002.

Anchoring the fourth team
is the most successful Champions Tour SKINS GAME player in event history:
Floyd, who won the event an unprecedented five consecutive times (1994,
1995, 1996, 1997, 1998). The winner of four major championships, Floyd has
captured 60 titles worldwide.

His partner is another
Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME rookie, Quigley, who parlayed his iron-man
routine – his streak of 264 consecutive tournaments ended this year --
into the top spot on the Champions Tour Money List. In so doing, the
58-year-old Quigley became the oldest player to earn the Arnold Palmer
Award and the only player in 2005 to crack the $2 million mark in
earnings.

In the Wendy’s Champions
SKINS GAME, each hole is a tournament within itself, with the prize money
carried over if no player wins a hole outright. The $770,000 total purse
is broken down to $30,000 for each of the first six holes, $40,000 for
each of the middle six holes, $50,000 each for holes 13 through 17, and
$100,000 for the 18th hole. The players will donate 10 percent of their
winnings to charity – 5 percent to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption
and 5 percent to the charity of their choice.
